MP CM interacts with 'friends of MP' in Dubai
Bhopal, July 14 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, during his interaction with the 'Friends of MP' International group in Dubai, said that Madhya Pradesh has emerged as the most progressive state in India. 'Our government has opened all doors for investors. We have implemented 18 transparent industrial policies to ensure ease and clarity in business. Investors coming to Madhya Pradesh will face no obstacles. Come, Madhya Pradesh is calling you. Trust us and invest here- we will not fall short in returning your faith with a 'return gift',' he was officially quoted as saying today. Yadav assured that if investors set up industries that generate employment, the state government would provide Rs 5,000 per worker per month as assistance for 10 years. For those willing to invest in medical colleges or medical education, land would be allotted at just Re 1. 'The government stands with investors at every step. Make Madhya Pradesh your second home - come, invest, and grow. For people of Madhya Pradesh, Dubai is like a second mother. Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Madhya Pradesh is moving swiftly on the path of progress. Industry-focused policies have been put in place. Single-window clearances are provided for setting up industries and subsidies on electricity bills are being offered. Through regional industrial conclaves and the Global Investors Summit, investment proposals worth Rs 30 lakh crore have been received,' he added. The Chief Minister said that entrepreneurs build enterprises through intelligence and innovation. 'Though physical diamonds are mined in Panna, the true diamonds of Madhya Pradesh are here in Dubai. Industrialists are like weather forecasters who sense the changing winds early. Under PM Modi, the country is progressing rapidly- supporting not only Indians but also the diaspora in difficult times. Many nations became independent alongside India, but today, India's economy is among the fastest-growing.' He praised former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's ethical governance and applauded Modi's welfare initiatives like 4 crore concrete homes for the poor and free ration distribution to 80 crore people- a number equal to the population of nearly 100 countries. Referring to the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple in Dubai, Yadav said that it reflects the inclusivity of Indian culture, embracing all sects and spreading global peace and harmony. 'During the COVID pandemic, India sent medicines to other countries, truly living the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,' he added. He praised Madhya Pradesh-origin entrepreneurs in the UAE for creating employment and prosperity. Among them, Naresh Bhavnani, originally from Mandsaur, has established a major textile business in the UAE through dedication and hard work. UNI AC RKM
